It is incredibly funny the guilt that troubles me when I don't. I'd be like, "It is not much, just do it," but altruism is really a facade. We do these things most times to satisfy that conscience that said we should, not because of compassion, but because we'll feel worse off.

Burna's lyrics comes to mind. "Its not enough. If I do 99 good e go remain one". One really can't help half the number people around one that needs help, especially when you can't always help yourself. The important thing is giving when you can and not beating yourself up when you can't

"I am always sitting with the idea that everything I own does not belong to me because that way, I find it easy to give out what can be given out."

This resonated with me. Reading it alone, I imagined how much weight it relieves one of. Yet if nothing one owned belonged to them, who then does it?

A question I am troubling myself with to respond, Favour. As a believer, I believe everything belong to God.
